Unit/Lesson Topic: Mapping where you live Grade:First grade Time of year:Begging of the year Activities: (Using Google map) Student will go to Google Map and type his/her address. The student has to find out how far he/she lives from the school, how many miles of distance. The students has to give directions on how to get from home to school. The student will to calculate how long it take from point A to point B. The student has to do three calculations 1st by vehicle 2nd using a bike and 3rd walking. Then the student can compare and discuss with peers on their calculations.
All units are described (in a key or with labels) and are appropriately sized for the data set.
Most units are described (in a key or with labels) and are appropriately sized for the data set.
All units are described (in a key or with labels) but are not appropriately sized for the data set.
Units are neither described NOR appropriately sized for the data set.
Neatness and Attractiveness
Exceptionally well designed, neat, and attractive. Colors that go well together are used to make the graph more readable. A ruler and graph paper (or graphing computer program) are used.
Neat and relatively attractive. A ruler and graph paper (or graphing computer program) are used to make the graph more readable.
Lines are neatly drawn but the graph appears quite plain.
Appears messy and "thrown together" in a hurry. Lines are visibly crooked.
Accuracy of Plot
All points are plotted correctly and are easy to see. A ruler is used to neatly connect the points or make the bars, if not using a computerized graphing program.
All points are plotted correctly and are easy to see.
All points are plotted correctly.
Points are not plotted correctly OR extra points were included.
Type of Graph Chosen
Graph fits the data well and makes it easy to interpret.
Graph is adequate and does not distort the data, but interpretation of the data is somewhat difficult.
Graph distorts the data somewhat and interpretation of the data is somewhat difficult.
Graph seriously distorts the data making interpretation almost impossible.
